A Saturday that inspire

As Saturday morning came the snow had been falling all night and meteorologists were warning everyone from taking the car. I did hesitate from going to Halmstad all morning but as the snowfall got lesser and the SMS got more frequent I finally got in the car and went down! The road was far from good and the ride took about half an hour more than usual, but when I met up with my fishing buddy and we started to talk about the day I know it was turning out to bee a good day...
firstly we went in to check out the fair and then I had to get some new fly tying material, we went up to Mats at Whitlocks – the best fly fishing store in Halmstad, and as far as I know in Sweden – I got some spey hackle and a few more things I had been missing for too long...
got some lunch bragging about all the fish we are going to catch this season. Then it was time to enter the fair, Johan Klingberg had already started to talk about fishing for big trout in the south of Sweden, the best place in his view – in my view as well – he was showing pictures on big trout caught mostly south of Göteborg. Most people go north for trout and grayling fishing but with some curiosity and help from fellow fly fisher you might bee surprised to what you hook...
Johan showed the first part of his film Mayfly madness, if one is fishing for big trout this is a very entertaining film.
As the room shifted to a fly tying workshop we went in the other room and talked to the represents from Guideline, they were showing a rod from their new series, a rod that seems to bee very interesting... I hope I will have the opportunity to try it during spring.
Mikael Frödin had a small but crowded table and was tying salmon flies, magnificent flies.
We where watching for quite some time but did not notice the time until Mikael had to run of and prepare the film Kharlowka! The film is more than can bee expected in a fishing film, if it ever comes to DVD it ought to bee in every serious fly fishers collection! The film is about the Atlantic Salmon Reserve founded by Peter Power, what Peter has done is amazing and so is the Kharlowka film! The filming is top quality and so is the fly fishing.
Arrangement was very good and to sum it up, Saturday was a good fishing day, just before the first cast
